Have you checked out CetusGPS? It doesn't have any on-screen mapping functions, but it has many options and efficiently logs every possible data field.

Assuming it works with your hardware, Cetus GPS (www.cetusgps.dk) is a
pretty good tracklogger.

Hi,
This is a little off topic, but I thought this group would be
knowledgeable. I have an Emtac bluetooth GPS, which I want to use with
my Palm Treo 650. Can you guys point me at the best PalmOS application
for just track logging? (I want to play around with geotagging, so I
just need to do track logging, nothing more.)
The best solution I found was an application called KML Logger, but I
was curious if anyone had any other suggestions.
Thanks!

I've heard there's an update to NG Topo that adds 60csx support as well
as GPX support.

Neither our TPG nor TPO writer support tracks. See:

This is because you're using the (broken) kernel driver. Don't do that.

Find inspiration at http://www.gpsbabel.org/os/Linux_Hotplug.html (Ubutn=
u may
or may not differ in the details) to get the kernel module out of the way=
so
we can speak directly to the device.

Hello,
first off, let me describe my setup:
Linux ubuntu 2.6.16.16 i686
GPSmap 76CSx
I have been using root to run GPSBabel.
i can get the waypoints from my gps everytime (the -w switch) but when i try
to get the track logs ( -t ), it says this:
gpsbabel -t -i garmin -f /dev/ttyUSB0 -o gpx -F he.gpx
[ERROR] GPS_Packet_Read: Timeout. No data received.
I also have to use -f /dev/ttyUSB0 instead of usb: becuase of this message:
gpsbabel -w -t -i garmin -f usb: -o gpx -F he.gpx
usb_set_configuration failed: could not set config 1: Device or resource
busy
The problem thickens, i have got tracks from my device a few times, it is
unclear what makes it work. if someone has been through this problem before
and knows what i am doing wrong, please let me know. Thanks and if i need to
give more info, i can.
